You can have climbing plants on it in the summer and spring and trees around it that will look great in the winter.

Evergreen Trees.

A great way to enhance your Santa Cruz landscape is the use of evergreens. The use of this fabulous tree will bring year-round beauty to any backyard landscape.

Many people like to use deciduous trees in the yard but in some climates they will not stay green year-round like the evergreens. However when we landscape in Santa Cruz the deciduous tree may not lose its leaves like other parts of the country. Certain deciduous species when planted in temperate or tropical areas will retain their leaves throughout the year.
